3.4.3 Installing Knot DNS packages on Fedora

The RPM packages for Knot DNS are available in official Fedora repositories since Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow). Look for knot package in your package manager. To install the package using Yum, run a following command as the root user:

# yum install knot

Using official distribution repository is highly recommended, however you may want to run Knot DNS on older releases of Fedora. In this case you can set up an unofficial repository by creating /etc/yum.repos.d/knot.conf file with the following content:

[knot]
name=Network.CZ Repository
baseurl=ftp://repo.network.cz/pub/redhat/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-network.cz

After performing this action, you can install knot package the same way as described above. Please note that the unofficial repository contains only builds for i686 and x86_64 architecture.

When upgrading to Fedora 18 or higher, backup the configuration and switch to the latest package provided in the official repository by running the following command as the root user:

# yum distro-sync knot
